Former PM helps school celebrate 50th anniversary

The Colleton Primary School celebrated its 50th anniversary on Saturday. The whole community (past and present) enjoyed a wonderful day including showcase performances from the children in guitar club, drum club, singing groups, dance club and judo club.

There was also a spectacular dragon dance performed and a chance to try out VR headsets, silent disco and yoga.

Children from the community planted herbs and flowers in the sensory garden and sold plants and vegetables grown by them in their gardening club.

Theresa May and her husband also visited and acknowledged how special the school is with its approach to nurturing the whole child and individualised learning to ensure every child meets their full potential.

A radio show presented by Jules

Lang (Radio 2 DJ and staff member) interviewed staff past and present about their memories of the school and what makes it so special.

Michelle Law, Headteacher, said how proud she was of what a wonderful community event families and staff had put together to commemorate 50 years of The Colleton. “Many memories were shared and the children enjoyed a fun filled day!”

If you are a past pupil or have any connections with the school, they would be very pleased to hear from you. Please email admin@colleton. wokingham.sch.uk with your memories.

Open mornings for prospective families are planned for Thursday 21st September 2023 and Wednesday 22nd November. Visit their website for more details at www. colleton.wokingham.sch.uk.
